A fixture for holding electrical components on an external support structure protects the components from weather, dust, condensation, and mechanical impact. An example fixture includes a shell having an open bottom side; a base configured for sliding engagement with the bottom side of the shell, a first electrical connector held in a selected rotational orientation in the base; and a support frame configured for sliding engagement with the shell. The support frame includes a first component holder; a second component holder rotatably connected to the first component holder; and a third component holder rotatably connected to the second component holder and removably connected to the first component holder. An optional connector on the shell allows the fixture to be installed between a host connector and any previously-installed legacy equipment.

The present invention relates to an electric connector and an illuminating device comprising this electric connector, wherein the electric connector comprises a housing and an end cap connected to the housing, wherein an conductor which can be connected to a power supply is arranged in the end cap, wherein the conductor comprises a stationary part and a movable part, wherein the conductor is rotatable relative to the housing along with the end cap from a first position to a second position, wherein the movable parts at least partially retract into the stationary part in the first position, and at least one movable part extends out of the stationary part in the second position so as to be in electric connection with a power consumption component arranged in the housing.

An LED lighting tube including a heat-dissipating tubular envelope having an LED assembly directly affixed to an inner surface of the heat-dissipating tubular envelope. A method of making an LED lighting tube by providing a heat-dissipating tubular envelope, and affixing an LED assembly directly to an inner surface of the heat-dissipating tubular envelope with an adhesive layer. A method of providing heat-dissipation without a heat sink in an LED lighting tube by providing a heat-dissipating tubular envelope, affixing an LED assembly directly to an inner surface of the heat-dissipating tubular envelope with an adhesive layer, and dissipating heat through the heat-dissipating tubular envelope.

In an imaging device, an electric connection is achieved in which a pressing force of a terminal of a substrate-side connector does not act on a substrate stored in a housing. Harness connection terminals have plate-shaped contact pieces projecting from an inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical peripheral wall of a rear housing. Terminals of a connector have clamp contact portions that clamp the plate-shaped contact pieces to be in conductive contact therewith. The pressing force of the clamp contact portions acts in the plate thickness direction of the plate-shaped contact pieces, but does not act in the plate thickness direction of the substrate. This avoids warpage of the substrate.

An LED lighting tube including a heat-dissipating tubular envelope having an LED assembly directly affixed to an inner surface of the heat-dissipating tubular envelope and a safety switch included on at least one end cap on an end of the heat-dissipating tubular envelope. A method of preventing shocks to an individual inserting or removing an LED lighting tube from an electrical socket by an individual inserting or removing the LED lighting tube including a safety switch on an end cap from an electrical socket, providing power to the LED lighting tube only when the safety switch is activated, and preventing shocks to the individual.
